Media Memorial

I went through my harddrives trying to find something I could post for Hunner today. Tim's post was perfect, but I wanted to add some visual stuff that hasn't been seen in a while. Rest in Peace, man.

-The Memorial clip, for anyone who hasn't seen it (I always wished I'd had more time to fix the sound, but it's special in it's rawness, I think. The song is especially powerful.)

-Hunner's Rep The Pep Part

Never Forget

Seems only fitting that the 100th post on this little blog be about one of the best skaters to ever push around Culpeper. It's crazy how school and work can seem like they drag on forever but the passing of a fellow skater can seem like it was only yesterday. I'm not gonna act like I was close with Hunter Payne because that wouldn't be true. I only talked to the guy a handful of times but I had alot of respect for him on and off his skateboard. Always a positive attitude and could pull off the most ridicolous jokes that anyone else would look like a fool to try. Way ahead of his time in terms of skating the dude was an absolute natural. I know his passing hit me hard and I'm sure it hit home with everyone else at the park and his close friends. I know it sounds cheesy but live each day like it's your last. If you have something you need to say to somebody whether it be asking for forgiveness or apologize do it because you never know what tomorrow will bring. Same goes for skating, never leave a spot saying you'll try it tomorrow because tomorrow the spot might be gone, knobbed or whatever. Live each day to the fullest, go bomb a hill today for Hunter or try to learn nollie overcrooks as good as him, haha good luck with the second one.

Spring Park Montage

Some bro-filmin and some bad colors, and Blake cutting me off on our pre-discussed line-path. Excuses excuses. Check it out, and expect a bro-cam montage in a couple weeks or so that was supposed to be in this.

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner

Tomorrow is lookin like the day the park montage will be up. Unfortunately, file conversions and people not bringing me discs of footage cut down on the massive amount of clips going into the final product, soooo it's not gonna be the epic I had originally envisioned. Oh well. Check back tomorrow evening to catch a glimpse of the first Mike Sheridan A-grade footage at Anti, along with my 757 companions killin it with Blake. And I'm in it too, but who cares about that.

Throwaway Montizzle

Got it done before the park montage, whoops. Experience the Blake-led glory.

Delayedddd

Still waiting on two guys to get me some contributing park footage.... I had hoped for a weekend release but thankfully, I had to work instead for the first time in a while. Now that school's done for some of us, the filming is about to get heavy, and I've already started a street throwaway clip. I believe it's the first time in several years I've had two clips in progress at once. It helps when you find a song before you start, word to the wise. Check back this week, it's gonna be a long one.
